EnsIlsh styles.
Bustles grow smaller.
Lustrous light weight mohairs are
again used for travelling dresses.
Very small ornamental-hcaded pins
are much used for dress purposes.
The belted blouse waist is the style
for wash frocks in this midsummer
weather.
Detachable collars and cuffs Of velvet
and velveteen are worn with wash
frocks.
Two sets of velvet collars and cuffs
can be worn with any number OF wash
frocks.
The immense variety in parasols is
one of the pretticst features Of this sea-
sons fashions.
White dress fabrics Of all kinds, but
especially white wash goods, are in de-
ifland just now.
The favorite pin and brooch of the
Partisan woman is ornamented with
one or several dogs heads.
Exquisite costumes entirely OF lace.
with hat to match, are worn over under
slips and skirts of tinted surah.
Even the gauntlets of long gloves are
dotted and barred in some cases to
match the toilet this season. .
Small bonnets and tiny togues and
turbans and very large Directoire hats
are the favorites in millinery this sum-
mer.
Jubilee plaids, very big and very
ugly, are the rage of the moment in
England and Scotland, but not in the
Emerald Isle.
Two colors that actually swear at
each other when worn in the same toilet
in this hot weather are heliotrope and
red.
The Partisan safety pin for dressy
purposes has pearls. crystal, amber,
coral and other beads strung on its con-
Meeting wire.
The dogs head, and especially the
pug's, is the favorite decoration in
boudoir bric-a-brac and dress accesso-
ries at the moment in Paris.
Magnificently lace-covered and ribbon
and flower trimmed parasols are used
with dressy lace and other handsome
summer toilets.
A big parasol with an overhanging
cover of lace is great protection to
the eyes, and a most becoming en- tout
cas- over pretty face.
Large flats of lace, white and cream
colored, made up of lace founces over
white millnet frames, make the coolest
and most becoming of all summer hats.
Large artificial butterflies, made of
gauze of feathers and tinsel, with tiny
jeweled eyes and penciled wings, are
pettily worn in the hair on dressy oc-
| casions.
A lace fiat requires no outside trim
ming, but two or three large roses or
bows of tinted ribbon under the brim
give the dash of color and the suggest
ion of ornamentation needed. =.
There is quite an effort to popularize
leg-of-mutton and bishops sleeves, but
the right coat sleeve, in one or another
form, holds its place among fashionable
and questionable people, but nova
days it is not tight. but loose above the
| elbow.
The latest travelling mat or dust
catcher is the Irish PEASANTS cloak,
made of six or more breadths of surah,
and long enough to envelop the whole
person from head to foot. The whole
fulness is simply gathered to deep
standing collar Of velvet. These peas
ant cloaks have no sleeves. but the
fronts are doubled up to form sling
sleeves. There is belt underneath to
adjust the fulness slightly to the figure
| in the back.-N. Y. Sun.

purple. and it was apparently choking
to death. Atevery expiration of breath
a sound like that of distant cornet
was emitted from his mouth. The po-
lice sergeant gave the youngster two or
three sound whacks on the back, and
out came toy bugle, which had lodged
in the infants throat.
Two young ladies were sitting to-
gether in a street-car. One of them
was very pale and thin and seemed to
be suffering. At the next corner the
invalid got up and left the car. A
gentleman who had been sitting oppo-
site said to the remaining lady: "Ex-
cuse me. am physician. I per-
ceive your friend is an invalid"
"Yes," was the reply, "she has II heart
trouble" Probably an aneurisrn."

The Miners Union at Butte, Mon
tana, has novel way of increasing its
membership. One day last week, HOO
members Of the association marched in
q body to the Blue Bird mine, where
were employed some fifty Italians at
less than the union scale of wages, and,
corraling the representatives Of sunny
Italy marched them to the unions hall
and initiated them. No violence was
used, but some forcible persuasion.
Hereafter they win get the full price
$3.50 per day--when they work UNDER
ground. Their addition increased the
membership of the union from 1850 to
5000. and the Blue Bird will only em-
ploy union men hereafter. Notice was
given all stragglers At small mines to
Join, otherwise they viii be blacklisted.

State Judges and Railroad Passes
BrGttLeboro Phoenix.

1t comes to us from reliable source
that on a certain occasion this year one
of the judges presented a pass to the
conductor of tile train on which he was
riding, while another member of the
bench was passed by with the evident
understanding that he also had pass
The general impression in the state is,
we think, that the judges are still rid
ing at some ones expense other than
their own or that of the state.
The facts in this connection are well
known. Up to the present year it was
no secret that the judges were given
and accepted free passes over the vari-
Gus railroads in the state. Many peO-
pie objected to this on the ground
that it placed the judges under sense
of obligation to railroad officials who
were often engaged in litigation, and
whose interests often came into conflict
with those of the people before the
courts of the state. On behalf of the
judges it was urged that their salaries
were small, and that they were obliged
to accept these gratuities, and ecOno-
mize in other ways, in order to have
left, after their travelling expenses
were paid, as much money as an aver
age good lawyer would realize from
his professional work in a year. At
ter some years of agitation of this sub
ject, the legislature of 1886 passed a
law increasing the salaries of the
judges $500 each, from $500 to $1,000
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1887-09-01

a year, and also allowing each judge
the sum of $500 to cover "his actual
cash disbursements for his expenses
while absent from home on official
business This amounted to an in
crease of $500 each in the salaries of
the judges, and it was as well under
stood as though it had been explicitly
so stated in the act that the sum of
$500 was to cover their transportation
expenses and place them above all rea-
son or excuse for accepting free rail-
road passes. 1t was meant, in short,
to remove the scandal which had arisen
in connection with the Judiciary and
the free pass abuse. The legislators so
understood it, the people so understood
it, and the judges are simply throwing
themselves in the face of public senti-
ment if they are still riding on free
passes. The matter will not be allow
ed to rest, and if necessary another
Legislature will make short work with
the evil, if not in one way then in an
other. The intent of the law of 1886
was not to pay the hotel and boarding
expenses of the judges, and if they
raise the claim that they accept passes
in order to save the state expense, the
answer will be that the people do not
want their Judiciary to practice that
sort of economy for them.

The Stranger Girl in New York.

II should like to give you an idea o
how we girls are treated wherever We
go to look for boarding places in this
city," said a young typewriter to /;
New York Tribune reporter the Othe
day. "You men can obtain bOarC
wherever you please, and, 50 long as
you pay your board bills and behave
| yourselves, there are no questions ask
ed; but with girl it is different
When l came to New York L was fresh
from New England, unknown and
without friends here to give me any
help or hints. Consequently l had tC
hunt up a boarding place for myself
After considerable looking around,
found quiet-appearing house, where
a sign stated that hall room was va
cant and that boarders were wanted
In answer to my ring kindly looking
matrOn inquired my business. When
L told her that [ was looking for a
boarding place, visible change came
over her face.
'WhO are you 2 was her somewhat
abrupt question. Then she scanned
me as if were suspected thief, fOl
whose capture reward had been of
fered, and without giving me time to
answer this pertinent question she con-
tinued:
Are you married 2
mo, l am not [ said as pleasantly
as my modification would allow.
"'What do you expect to do for a
living p was her next query.
"I am typewriter
ga typewriter y This was said with
a sneer that might mean volumes.
Hau IN z I'm, off
any male friend who will call on you 2
mo, my family all live in Connec-
ticut.'
"Do you keep company with any
manf Really l was beginning to lose
all patience, but l managed to say
calmly: Il do not, but what has that
to do with the question of my hiring a
room and paying for it in advance p
Have You got any references p
81 don't see why L submitted to so
much quizzing. That woman could

pose l could get them from home in
two or three days.
well, l guess we haven't any room
now, and besides, I'd rather have gen
tlemen,' was the worthy matron's de-
cisiOn, as she opened the front door
only to shut it quickly behind me. l
think L went to fully a dozen places,
only to be treated in the same way. At
last l went to the Young Woman's
Christian association, where l should
have gone first. | never was more
thankful in my life than when, after
had been at work for year, and de-
sired to change my place, one of the
girls in our Office invited me to share
her room until was able to find an
other place. This may all sound very
funny to you, but it was not funny
experience for me and my experience
is by no means unusual. A man can
get rooms and board where he chooses,
without references and without cues
tiOns, but when girl tries to get board
for herself, if she is well dressed, her
character is doubted, and there is mo
room for her; people wonder where
she gets her money. If she is poorly
dressed, she is, naturally, not wanted,
because she will lower the reputation
of the house. She must, in self-de-

A Cowboy War.
Springfield Republican.


We trust that Mr.. Cleveland, who is
running the administration with "act-
ingr secretaries at Washington, is
white savages, enlisted by the state of
Colorado, is making war upon a party
of peaceably disposed and partially
civilized Indians under the chief Colo
row. The white savages are under
the lead of Sheriff Kendall, and it ap-
pears that owing to their threatening
appearance the Utes left their reserva-
ton and retired to the mountains to
defend themselves if attacked. Thith-
er the Colorado men are now pursuing
them, without cause or excuse, so far
as is known. Maj. Randlett, com
mandant at Fort Duchesne, telegraph
ed Gen. Terry four days ago that he
thought Colorow would go back to his
reservation, if he could get there with
out being attacked. Acting Secretary
Muldrow seems to intimate that the
United States forces are withheld in
the hope that COlOrOw can be induced
to return peaceably. But of course.
this hope is futile so long as the Colo
RADIO militia are beating the bush for
the Indians. The situation seems to
require IildG bilo dTIHy Do SoHG against
the militia, and that they be required
to leave ColorOw to peaceable negOtia
tons. By the way, "a curious story is
sent east that the whole trouble arises
from "hOss trot," in which the Indi-
an ponies beat the settlers, and when
the Indians demanded the beaten
horses, which constituted the stake,
the COW boys, refused to give up the
pot. Colorow took the horses by night
and is now charged with stealing them.

The CALIFORNIAN, Past and Present.


The CaledOnian recently attained the
50th year of its publication. The pa
per was established in 1897 by A. G..
Chadwick. He was man of marked
characteristics, and through his paper
and by his personal qualities, exer-
cised Il decisive influence, morally and
politically, in Caledonia county. We
well remember the cut of a locomotive
and railway train that stood, under his
prOprietOrship, at the head of the edi-
torial column, symbolizing, in it's
breakneck flight, an age of progress
i'll which great things should come to
pass. Below ran Story's famous mot
to, ''Here shall the Press the Peoples
rights maintain" etc. This train, the
admiration of the small boy, was ir-
reverently ditched by the present pro-
prietor, who ''learned his traden of MI.
Chadwick, and who, in company with
a CO labOrer, became editor and pro-
prietor, in 1855. The CaledOnian, with
good management and by strict add
herence to convictions of right, has be-
come an institution in the full meaning
of the word, and seems likely to per-
petuate it's existence.

A Mouse and Snake Story.

was visiting at a friends house in
Calcutta, says Mr.. Keane in his "Three
Years of Wanderers Life" and was
on this evening sitting at dinner alone
The table had been some time waiting
for the host, and had at last received
a note that he was not coming home,
SO / sat down alone. | had finished
dinner and was still lingering at the
table, when little mouse ran up on
the top of a bowl with sort of basket
work cover on it. | should not have
thought that of itself very singular, for
the s'stribes on our frontier made most
unexpected incursions, But when he
did get perched on the cover of the
bowl, the little fellow rose upon his
hind legs, with his hands before him,
and began to entertain me with the
funniest little mouse song you can
imagine. "Chit chit, cheep-cheep-
chit" he whistled, and kept it up be-
fore me in a most unembarrassed and
self-possessed little way. l must have
been trying audience, for l leaned
back in my chair and roared with
laughter. As l looked at the little
performer l gradually became aware
of shadow, a something strange Gid
ing out from behind a dish toward the
mouse. Silently and slowly it neared
the mouse; in another minute beady
snakes eye glittered in the lamplight.
My hand stole softly for the carving
knife. The snake reared his head
level with the mouse, and the poor lit
tie fellows song, which had never
ceased, became piercingly shrill, though
he sat up rigidly erect and motionless.
The head of the snake drew back lit
tie to strike; out flashed the carving
knife. The spell was broken instantly,
for the mouse dropped and scampered.
The snake was wounded, for there
were spots of blood on the tablecloth,
and it was writhing about among the
dishes and plates. could not make a
bold stroke at any part of it for fear OF
breaking the crOckery, and whenever
| made dig with the point it was like
pricking the garter. would not have
believed, until l had seen it, how
much of himself a snake can stow
away under the edge of plate. AT
last / saw the end of his tail projecting
out from under dish. A snake held
by the tail and swung rapidly round
cannot turn back and bite. l grabbed
the tail with my left thumb and finger,
